After nightfall, the humid air from the north from the Swamp lowered the area around the camp by several degrees. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

It was the cold that penetrated deep into the bone marrow, the uniforms became wet, and the cold penetrated into the skin through the wind, and even the soldiers who were accustomed to the cold wind of the north shivered for a different chill.

Next to the campfire, Shiloh was sitting on a broken log.

He was playing with a silver badge that he had scavenged from the hapless Baron of Brinton along with the letter when he first crossed into the world.

At first, Shiloh thought it was Baron Brinton's family coat of arms or something, and kept it in his pocket and ignored it, but when he was free to tidy up his things, he overturned the idea after careful observation.

The silver emblem was slightly larger than a gold coin, with an Ouroboros on one side, an intricate circle in the center, and a large concentric ring on the other, something that Shiloh had never seen in the game, at least not the coat of arms of any of Aster's nobles.

Even if you use the system, the details of this item can't be seen, this should be because Shiloh's own identification skills are not high enough, although most nobles have basic identification skills, but the effect is not even as good as Shiloh's own system, if you can find a full-time appraisal of various props, master advanced identification skills, presumably you can see some clues.

According to common sense, this coat of arms may be a token of Baron Brinton after escaping from Trestan Fortress and confirming the identity of the people who came to meet him, but in the game, players do not seem to have found such a coat of arms when they find Baron Brinton's body, which is worth considering.

Could it be that Baron Brinton is treasonous? This is actually a prop for him and Wendland?

Shiloh only thought at the time that it was a power struggle within the kingdom that led to Princess Elyfils being taken by the kingdom. The army was betrayed, and there were all kinds of dangerous situations along the way and it was impossible to think deeply, but now it seems that it is not only that simple.

Moreover, the magic circle in the center of the Ouroboros was different from any of Shiloh's cognitions, of course, he didn't know much about magic itself, maybe this was a magic circle of some ancient magic, if he had the opportunity, he must find an archmage to ask for advice.

"What are you looking at, Mr. Shiloh?"

A soft cry rang out in his ears, and Shiloh turned to see Princess Eliefils in a plush coat.

"Nothing...... It's just this, I don't know which family the coat of arms above represents. ”

Shiloh saw Princess Eliefils sitting beside him, so he handed over the badge in his hand, Her Royal Highness Princess as a member of the royal family, since she was a child, she would have taught the coat of arms of various families, if this was really the insignia of some Wendland noble, Shiloh believed she could recognize it.

"Hmm...... Ouroboros, and rings......."

Princess Elefils bit her lower lip, she thought about it for a moment, but finally shook her head and handed the badge back to Shiloh.

"I'm sorry, I don't recognize the sign."

"Is that so......"

Shiloh sighed softly, it seems that the origin of this badge is still unknown for the time being, and the hidden conspiracy after this is still unknown.

"However, I don't think it's like a family coat of arms, but more like a ritual sign."

Princess Eliefils said again, her blue eyes swaying in the light of the fire.

"Ritual ......"

Shiloh looked at the badge in his hand, and he couldn't feel any trace of magic from it, but if he looked closely, he would feel that it seemed to contain some kind of power, and Shiloh suddenly felt an ominous aura, but in an instant, this aura disappeared, as if it was an illusion.

"Let's wait until we meet a professional to investigate."

Putting away the badge, Shiloh decided not to think about the clueless thing for a while, and he saw that Princess Eliefils was quietly watching the campfire, and for a moment he could not find anything to talk about, so he fell silent.

The two watched the burning flames together until Princess Elyfils broke the silence.

"Tomorrow we will be in Keynzburg."

Just, a simple word.

"Yes, Your Highness Elifils, you can meet your brother."

Shiloh nodded, he didn't know how Princess Eliefils was related to the other siblings, but she had been sent to the Fortress of Trestan far away from the royal capital since she was a child, and she must not be familiar with the princes and princesses who were in the royal capital until they reached adulthood.

"Hmmm......"

Princess Elyfils replied softly, and then spoke slowly.

"Actually, I don't know each other well with Brother Leotis, we didn't live together when we were very young, and then we separated, so we ......"

"Is Her Highness Elifils worried?"

Shiloh expressed the concerns of Her Royal Highness the Princess, although it was a little out of place at this time, but as the younger sister who also had the right to inherit, Princess Elyfils's situation at the moment was indeed a little delicate, and she didn't know how Prince Leotis would deal with it.

Without answering, Princess Elyfils stared at the flickering flames as she ticked the fate of the kingdom of Aster.

"From the very beginning, I was a useless person, even my father abandoned me, so, if I could, I would sacrifice myself to save the people who were ravaged by war, and if that would make a difference to me, I would not hesitate to do it, but now it is not so easy to get through."

Saying something that puzzled Shiloh, Princess Elyfils smiled lonely.

"Maybe it's better to say something."

Shiloh knew that the huge pressure was on Princess Erifels' shoulders, this was the weight she did not allow others to share, this was the weight of the Kingdom of Aster, and he now seemed to understand a little bit why in the previous life, Her Royal Highness the princess often showed such a solemn expression.

"I know, but it's my responsibility."

Princess Eliefils shook her head, she bit her lower lip and clenched her fists as if she was suppressing something, but in the end, she said nothing.

"The war will go on for a long time, we must hold on, Mr. Shiloh, even if a comrade dies for it, we must continue to fight."

In the cold wind, Princess Eliefils looked extremely petite, and Shiloh instantly felt the urge to take her into his arms, but he knew that now was not the time to think about such a thing.

"We're going to keep going and we're going to win."

So, he said.

"After talking to you, I feel much better, and that time in the forest."

Princess Ellifils smiled at Shiloh, and the smile was so reluctant that Shiloh's heart throbbed.

"Thank you, Mr. Shiloh."

Facing the melancholy princess, Shiloh wanted to say something, but in the end he couldn't speak.

The unspoken words turned into sighs, and the night wind vanished towards the southern mountains, the stars shining, but unable to read the fate of Astre, and Shiloh looked up at the vast sea of stars, and finally fell silent. (To be continued.) )
